The most affordable luxury cars are some of the most fun.
Today’s luxury cars feature higher-quality materials than ever, futuristic technologies, and come backed by increasingly exceptional dealer service. It’s as true for the lower-priced luxury entries as it is for the six-figure flagships sold alongside.
And while it’s easy to hope your first BMW 3 Series is merely a stepping stone to a 5 Series and then a 7 Series, the truth is that the 3 Series is the most entertaining among them. So have fun now, before you get all rich and stuff.
